Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung has faced another judicial risk after Gyeonggi Governor Kim Dong-yeon found fault with his wife's abuse of his own corporate card for her personal use when he was the former Gyeonggi governor.
He must stop mobilizing DP lawmakers to protect himself from a plethora of his own judicial risks and voluntarily appear before the prosecution’s office as an individual.
Lee Jae-myung has spent the past year trying to avoid a number of judicial risks by mobilizing party members to defend himself from being arrested by the prosecution.
Democratic Party lawmakers not loyal to Lee Jae-myung are getting tired of his relentless struggle to tackle a plethora of judicial risks.
“Instead of taking interest in catching Lee Jae-myung, please take more interest in how to catch inflation, improve the economy and better the lives of the people,” DP leader said Tuesday.
Given the sharply-split votes on Monday, more DP lawmakers are expected to vote for his arrest if the prosecution seeks another arrest warrant for Lee.
